The Zebra TC701 is an ultra-rugged mobile computer built for commercial freight operations, heavy distribution centres, cross-dock facilities, and industrial field maintenance across Australia. Engineered to replace consumer-grade hardware and legacy handhelds, it provides transport and logistics operators with a durable terminal designed for heavy barcode scanning, electronic proof of delivery (ePOD), yard asset tracking, and real-time dispatch management.
Standardising on the TC701 helps enterprise fleets prevent scan-line bottlenecks, maintain chain of custody across regional transport corridors, and secure predictable multi-year device availability. Staged, configured, and deployed directly from our facility in Belmont, Western Australia, we supply and support these mobile computers for commercial fleets operating nationwide.

Performance and Processing Power
The Rugged TC701 runs on an enterprise-grade Qualcomm octa-core processor operating up to 2.7 GHz, delivering processing performance for local database caching, route navigation, and high-frequency barcode verification. Enterprise storage configurations feature 8GB of system RAM paired with 128GB of high-speed UFS onboard flash storage, expandable up to 2TB using an internal microSD card slot for storing offline freight manifests and site documentation. Operating natively on Android with Zebra Mobility DNA support, the system includes long-term enterprise security updates through Zebra LifeGuard™, providing IT administrators with streamlined fleet configuration and compliance tracking via standard Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) platforms.
Display and Input Design
This rugged mobile computer is built with a 6.0-inch Full High Definition+ (2160 x 1080 pixels) edge-to-edge capacitive touch screen delivering over 600 nits of optical brightness for legibility under direct Australian sunlight. The surface is protected by chemically strengthened Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® to resist abrasive red dust, surface scratching, and face-drop fractures. The multi-touch digitiser is tuned for active industrial use, maintaining precise tracking when operated with bare hands, heavy leather or synthetic work gloves, a passive stylus, or under falling rain.
Connectivity and Expansion
Built for national enterprise fleets, the internal modem supports 5G Sub-6 GHz (SA and NSA) and 4G LTE, including Band 28 (700 MHz) for long-range regional transport coverage across Australia. Local area wireless networking uses Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) with 802.11r fast roaming protocols to maintain active database sessions across expansive freight hubs and container yards. Short-range peripheral connections are supported by Bluetooth 5.2/5.3 and integrated NFC. Navigation and geofencing utilize dual-frequency (L1/L5) GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou satellite positioning. Physical connections include a rear 14-pin interface for snap-on triggers and high-wear docking contacts designed for multi-slot depot chargers and in-vehicle active docks.
Battery Life and Charging
Shift endurance is powered by Zebra's PowerPrecision+ rechargeable Lithium-ion battery system, which provides real-time telemetry on charge state, health percentage, and cycle count to prevent mid-shift power failures. Fleet managers can deploy the standard 5,000 mAh (19.45 Wh) battery for handheld balance, the extended 7,240 mAh (28.16 Wh) pack for continuous 12-hour transport runs, or the 5,000 mAh wireless charging battery. True Hot-Swap capability enables workers to replace depleted battery packs without closing active applications or disconnecting from backend networks. Fast charging restores a standard battery from 0% to 70% in approximately 45 minutes using single-slot cradles, multi-bay depot ShareCradles, or vehicle active docks.
Usability
Weighing 284 g with the standard 5,000 mAh battery (314 g with the extended 7,240 mAh battery) and measuring 165.0 x 77.9 x 15.5 mm (6.50 x 3.07 x 0.61 inches), the Zebra TC701 Mobile Computer is balanced for single-handed daily use and continuous barcode capture. It is purpose-built for the following enterprise workflows:
-
Freight Transport & Route Logistics: Complete electronic proofs of delivery (ePOD), sign-on-glass parcel verifications, and automated manifest updates across regional transport corridors.
-
Warehouse & Cross-Dock Handling: Execute high-volume barcode capture on pick faces, pallet racking, and inbound freight using integrated 1D/2D scan engines.
-
Mining & Heavy Laydown Yards: Track high-value components, verify equipment deliveries, and access digital work orders in dusty, high-vibration storage environments.
-
Field Service & Plant Maintenance: Review equipment histories, complete electronic safety inspections, and photograph component conditions using the high-resolution camera.
-
High-Throughput Warehouse Picking: Convert into an ergonomic scan gun for high-frequency scanning shifts using the snap-on electronic trigger handle.
Rugged Durability
The TC701 features a reinforced chassis built to exceed MIL-STD-810H environmental standards and holds dual IP65 and IP68 sealing certifications per IEC 60529, preventing ingress from airborne dust and withstanding water immersion up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes. The terminal withstands repeated 2.4-metre (8-foot) drops to concrete across its operating temperature range from -20°C to +50°C, increasing to 3.05-metre (10-foot) survivability when fitted with the protective rugged boot. Mechanical testing confirms durability against 2,000 consecutive 1.0-metre tumbles in a rotating test barrel and continuous machinery vibration (4g PK Sine / 0.04 g2/Hz Random). The front display and scanner exit window are protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®, while the housing polymers resist commercial disinfectants, cleaning chemicals, diesel fuel, and hydraulic fluids common to industrial transport workshops.
